Firefighters were called to free a pigeon trapped in netting yesterday afternoon.

A crew from Brackley fire station were called to Market Place in the town at the request of the RSPCA.

The animal protection charity called in the firefighters to reach the bird which had become trapped in netting three storeys up. One fire engine attended the incident, at around 2.25pm, and used ladders to climb up to the bird and release it. The crew were on scene for around 10 minutes.
